Supersymmetric optics and photonics (Conference Presentation)

Supersymmetric transformations aim to relate boson and fermions, two different species of particles, and their interactions. In quantum mechanics, the mathematical framework of SUSY can be used to design isospectral potentials. By virtue of the isomorphism between Schrodinger and wave equations, one can use such transformations for designing novel optical systems. In this talk, we review the recent developments in the general area of supersymmetric optics and photonics. We will also discuss the possibility of generating high brightness coherent light in supersymmetric laser arrays.
